 J
Series Liquid Phase Adsorbers
General Carbon
Corp., J Series Liquid Phase Adsorbers are ideal for liquid treatment
applications where higher pressures must be dealt with.
All General Carbon Corp., J Series Liquid Phase Adsorbers units are built
to 100 psi standards and are designed for long term installation.
General Carbon Corp., J Series Liquid Phase Adsorbers units have two part
Epoxy coatings on the inside and industrial enamel on the outside.
Standard General Carbon Corp., J Series Liquid Phase Adsorbers units have
PVC internals, two access ports, a vent connection in the top and steel
FPT fittings and legs.
Easy access to the carbon allows for on site carbon service and the economy
of bulk carbon usage. GC 8x3O or GC 12x40 coal base carbon is standard
with reactivated GC 8x30R and other specialty carbons available upon request.

models.
Installation
& Start Up
J-Series
adsorbers are shipped empty along with the required carbon. The adsorber
should be connected and all fittings pressure tested for leaks before
the carbon is installed through the top access hole. After the carbon
has been loaded, the unit should be filled with clean water through
the bottom collector, and allowed to degas for 812 hours if possible.
Backwashing the carbon is recommended to remove carbon fines that can
cause excessive pressure drop through the unit. Multiple units are usually
connected in series with testing between the units advised to determine
when the first unit needs to be changed out.
Maintenance
The only maintenance J-Series adsorbers require is the testing of effluent
quality, and checking the operating pressure of the system. Monitoring
the contaminant level into the last unit in a series arrangement is
the recommended safeguard against having breakthrough in the final outflow.
When the concentration of contaminants in the flow coming out of the
lead unit equals the concentration of the flow into the unit, the unit
has reached its removal capacity and needs to be serviced. The working
life of carbon is dependent upon the type of contaminant in the water
as well as its concentration and the liquid flow rate. A pressure relief
device is advised to prevent damage to the system in the event of excessive
pressure buildup. Backwashing an adsorber that is operating at an elevated
pressure will sometimes provide a temporary lowering of the pressure
drop through the unit.
Servicing
J Tanks
Once an adsorber's carbon is saturated by contaminants, the unit should
be taken off line and fresh carbon installed. To purchase replacement
carbon or to arrange for a carbon change out, please contact our office.
When preparing the unit for servicing, as much water as possible should
be drained from the vessel.
Disposal
If you change the carbon out yourself, please dispose of the spent carbon
in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations.
Available
Options
Custom features are available for special needs. ASME Section VIII Code
Stamp, Stainless Steel tanks and/or internals, food grade or severe
service coatings inside or out, custom sizes for space limitations and
different connection locations for hookup to existing plumbing are routine
requests. Please call us with your needs.
WARNING!
Wet activated carbon readily absorbs free oxygen. ANY carbon vessels
requires that procedures confined space entry and oxygen depletion be
followed!
